Is it permissible to pay off a portion of my husband's usurious loan—which he took before embracing Islam—using impermissible bank interest money, with the intention of migrating from a land of disbelief to an Islamic country?

If the husband does not possess what he can use to pay off his debt, there is no harm in the wife paying him the interest, because he is one of its rightful recipients, and ill-gotten wealth, when given to its rightful recipient, becomes permissible for him.
